anyone thinking we outsmarted the chiefs and their front office/Reid is delusional

That was around the time of peak 'preseason doesn't matter' and 'the staff knows best' nonsense, so 'Fitterer stole a receiver from the reciever-starved Chiefs' was right in line with the delusion.

Says a ton of he can't get snaps over guys like TMJ.

Maybe, but I'm not so sure of that.

One of the areas where I have questions about Reich is his depth chart decision making. The aforementioned Raheem Blackshear not getting reps previously is an example of why. Likewise, Tommy Tremble is starting to look decent but was sitting behind Ian Thomas on the depth chart.

The Chiefs are markedly better at identifying talent and their receivers suck; they still let him go over roster-bottom guys like Richie James and Justyn Ross. I don't disagree that our staff is questionable but Marsette is not a hidden gem.

Not saying he is.

But we've seen a couple of would look to be questionable roster management choices this year. Heck, that was one of Ron Rivera's downfalls.

Just hoping it's not a trend...

I hadn't noticed the name change.

Shouldn't a mod be able to help you with that?

Maybe. I think I can reveal the password on my old macbook and log in. Also sometimes weird cache stuff glitches things out. Either way I needed a temporary account as my eyes cannot handle this message board without dark mode engaged lol.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
